As a longstanding supporter of the Amateur Trapshooting Association, the Winchester AA/Grand American commemorative ammunition is both a collectible for the mantel and a solid fit for a round at the shooting range. This special AA ammunition features packaging the Grand American 125th anniversary badge, along with imagery celebrating the rich history of the event.

The 125th anniversary Grand American AA shotshell from Winchester is a 12-gauge, 2¾-inch, 1⅛-ounce, No. 8 target load with 1,145 f.p.s. velocity sold in 25-round boxes with the aforementioned special packaging.
